Pharmaceutical Technology - Facilities & Projects

Objectives

This conference provides practical insights into the design, construction, qualification and operation of GMP-compliant pharmaceutical facilities and emerging technologies. Real-life case studies and expert presentations illustrate how regulatory expectations can be translated into GMP-compliant solutions for technical environments.

Background

A GMP-compliant pharmaceutical facility provides the structural and organisational foundation for manufacturing high-quality medicines. Cleanrooms and controlled environments are key to minimising particulate and microbial contamination, while regulatory authorities set detailed expectations for design, operation, monitoring and maintenance.

Experience shows that many compliance challenges have their roots early on: during planning, design and construction. Facility concepts must anticipate regulatory requirements, future workflows, material and personnel flows, and critical technical interfaces, and they must remain robust throughout execution. Effective project and stakeholder management is therefore essential to balance cost, timelines and GMP compliance from concept through commissioning and qualification.

At the same time, today’s facilities are expected to deliver more than compliance alone. Operational excellence, lifecycle performance and sustainability targets increasingly influence technical decisions — from utilities and cleanroom upgrades to storage concepts and pharmaceutical water systems — without compromising product quality, patient safety or regulatory readiness. In parallel, digitalisation and robotics are gaining momentum, enabling more consistent operations, smarter material handling and new approaches to contamination control, including in aseptic environments.

This conference brings together experts from engineering, quality and operations to share practical experience, lessons learned and real-life case studies on how to translate regulatory expectations into effective, future-proof solutions in the technical environment.

Target Audience

This conference is aimed at professionals involved in the planning, construction, qualification, and operation of pharmaceutical cleanrooms and production facilities. It is particularly relevant for experts and decision-makers from engineering, quality assurance, production, and project management. Both pharmaceutical companies and service providers – including planners and architects – will benefit from the practical focus and regulatory insights.
